Thanks Setven Smile Actually, now that I tried different things I saw a number of problems with the tournaments in ScidVsMac:

1- the engine choosing system in the tournament windows is not handy at all: if I have more than 20 engines, I can't even start the tournament because the "go" button is scrolled out of the screen (and I run in 2560x1440...). Idea: why not use a list like Arena's ?

2- So I chose to break my tournament into smaller ones whose list would fit into my screen, but after a while the tournament will freeze for no reason (I thought an engine was crashing, but now I think it comes from ScidVsMac because the engine won't even lose on time). So, stability problem, here.

Are you using xboard engines ?
SVN has update code for this scenario. Just check out svn, then use "make scid" to make a new gui, and copy "scid" over /Applications/Scidvspc/...../scid
Also - the "engine timeout" feature is quite handy for making sure the thing always finishes.

3- When a game has ended it takes often a lot of time (sometimes more than 30s) to start the next game...
Hmmm - never seen this before. OSX *does* have a not-great version of tcl/tk though. Can you pinpoint this problem ?

(with, btw, all white engines starting with the same position during a round, and then their opponent getting the same position against them the round after if we set 2 games against each-others), would be nice
Isn't this possible with "All games from current position".

But yes, the torunament feature isn't as solid as some other guis.
